Ohana launches $1.28bn beachfront project with Jacob & Co
Ohana Development, a leading real estate developer renowned for its luxury properties, has officially launched 'Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana' in partnership with iconic timepiece and jewellery house Jacob & Co.
The project was revealed at an exclusive event held at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi, on May 12, in the presence of Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, and Jacob Arabo, Chairman and Creative Director of Jacob & Co.
Located in Al Jurf between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this AED4.7 billion ($1.28 billion) landmark blends breathtaking natural surroundings with exceptional artistry and craftsmanship.
With direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, the development enjoys seamless connectivity to the UAE's key destinations, including Abu Dhabi International Airport, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum International Airport, the developer said.
Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana presents a collection of 457 residences comprising seaview apartments, villas, penthouses, Sky Mansions and beachfront mansions — each thoughtfully designed to embody refined coastal living. For those desiring more space and refinement, the opulent penthouses feature 180-degree views and expansive interiors, starting from AED22 million. Crowned at the top are the Sky Mansions — spacious rooftop residences offering 360-degree views and dedicated private elevators for ultimate exclusivity, starting from AED77 million.
Additionally, fully customisable 3- to 6-bedroom villas and mansions — each featuring a private pool — are available with peaceful natural reserve views or as canal-front locations, while the Beachfront Mansions deliver unmatched scale and panoramic sea views, setting a new benchmark for refined design and luxury living.
Husein Salem said: 'Our vision for Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana is to elevate the beachfront living experience by developing an exclusive sanctuary along the coast. Through this collaboration with Jacob & Co., we are setting a new benchmark for what beachfront residences can embody in the UAE. More than just a residential community, we are crafting a destination—a seaside haven where curated experiences, timeless elegance, and natural tranquillity converge to offer a lifestyle of distinction.'
Jacob Arabo added: 'Working closely with Ohana Development, we have woven our legacy of artistic excellence and ultra-luxury lifestyle into every aspect of this endeavour. Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana is our tribute to coastal artistry, where visionary design, craftsmanship, and the allure of the sea merge to create unparalleled homes.'
At the heart of the development is the Jacob & Co. Social Club, a world-first concept in exclusive living. The club features the first branded Seafront Cigar Lounge by Jacob & Co., an executive business centre with private meeting suites, and the world's first members-only Jacob & Co. Residents Club, showcasing a curated watch gallery alongside rotating art exhibitions. Designed to elevate everyday living, the resort-style amenities are crafted to deepen the connection to the sea and enhance the residents' lifestyle.
Upon arrival, residents are welcomed into a grand entrance and lobby atrium where a striking 10-meter-wide Jacob & Co. ceiling art timepiece — the largest of its kind globally — reimagines the traditional chandelier, setting the tone for an environment where art, innovation, and luxury harmoniously coexist.
The development also unveils the world's first Jacob & Co. Beach Club, a vibrant seaside destination offering an array of fine-dining concepts and beachside restaurants, each carefully crafted to celebrate life by the beach.
Nestled amidst a protected natural reserve and diverse wildlife, Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana offers an extraordinary opportunity to embrace a lifestyle deeply connected to nature. The architecture features flowing, curved façades inspired by the movement of the sea, while the buildings' forms subtly reflect the initials 'J' and 'C' in homage to Jacob & Co.
Scheduled for completion by Q2 2028, Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana is poised to become a global benchmark in luxury beachfront living, setting new standards for residential elegance in the UAE and beyond.

Emirates customers flying to and from Damascus will also benefit from the airline's codeshare partnership with flydubai, which will complement its flight schedule and provide more options and convenience when flying in and out of the Syrian capital. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group said: 'Emirates is pleased to restart operations to Damascus and support Syria's road ahead by providing better choice and connectivity, essential economic links for inwards investment as well as opening new trade lanes and global market access for the country. Re-establishing air travel and connectivity is also good news for our customers that make up the expansive Syrian diaspora across the Americas, Europe and the GCC, who are eager to fly back home and reconnect to their roots, and leverage their knowledge, skills, expertise and resources in ongoing development efforts. "We would like to thank the Syrian authorities for their support in strengthening connectivity between Dubai and Damascus and look forward to boosting links to and from the country through our regularly scheduled operations.' The UAE and Syria's trade volumes reached $680 million (AED2.5 billion) in 2024, a 23% increase over the previous year, and the new flights will further stimulate vital trade ties. The UAE's thriving Syrian community of over 350,000 nationals have played an integral role in the UAE's prosperity, contributing through entrepreneurial ventures and skilled expertise while further enriching the country's vibrant cultural tapestry, it said. -TradeArabia News Service

RTA announces urban project to upgrade Umm Suqeim Street
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced an integrated urban project for the upgradation of Umm Suqeim Street, from its intersection with Jumeirah Street to Al Khail Road. The project is designed to enhance traffic flow in support of the emirate's comprehensive development, address the demands of urban expansion and population growth, and to improve the overall quality of life for both residents and visitors. It complements works currently underway to upgrade Umm Suqeim Street from its intersection with Al Khail Road to Emirates Road, ultimately enabling uninterrupted traffic flow from Jumeirah to Al Qudra Road over a total distance of 20km. The project goes beyond traditional road widening and development by integrating creative and aesthetic enhancements into the surrounding urban landscape. It features upgraded pedestrian walkways, a dedicated cycling track, and complete streets (boulevards), alongside vibrant urban spaces designed to foster community interaction and create inclusive, dynamic environments, said RTA in a statement. It also establishes a direct link between Mall of the Emirates Metro Station and nearby residential communities through targeted improvements that ensure smooth, integrated, and seamless access between these areas and the metro. The project forms part of a master plan developed by RTA to upgrade the road network in the area, including enhancements to Jumeirah Street, Al Wasl Street , and Al Safa Street, details of which will be announced in due course, it stated. Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, said: "The upgrade of Umm Suqeim Street, from its intersection with Jumeirah Street to Al Khail Road, forms part of a master plan to develop the Umm Suqeim–Al Qudra corridor. " "This strategic route extends from its intersections with Jumeirah Street throughout to its intersections with Emirates Road to Al Qudra Road, serving key residential and development zones with a combined population exceeding two million," he stated. "The project enhances connectivity across four strategic transport corridors in Dubai - Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and Emirates Road. It will increase Umm Suqeim Street's capacity to 16,000 vehicles per hour in both directions, significantly improve traffic flow, and reduce travel time between Jumeirah Street and Al Khail Road from 20 minutes to just six," noted Al Tayer. "The upgraded corridor will directly serve vital residential and development areas, including Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Manara, Al Sufouh, Umm Al Sheif, Al Barsha, and Al Quoz; home to more than two million residents," he added. According to him, the project entails the upgrade of six key intersections along Umm Suqeim Street, specifically those with Jumeirah Street, Al Wasl Street, Sheikh Zayed Road, First Al Khail Street, Al Asayel Street, and Al Khail Road.
